I was lucky to meet Dr. Winter when I created a 3D tour of his home for an exhibit on the home's original owner, Ernest Batchelder. Such an interesting person! What a loss for Los Angeles.
Robert Winter, chronicler of LA architecture, has died. Farewell, maestro, and thanks for all you did to illuminate the Arts & Crafts movement in Pasadena and leave its artifacts in trust for future generations! la.curbed.com/2019/2/11/1822…

#Matterport provides viewership statistics for tours. I just made a list of my best and most popular 3D Tours. Kind of fun reliving them! (I'm leaving out residential real estate and focusing on the historic stuff.) List to follow!
I'm especially proud to share this tour of these important and beautiful #Murals in #LongBeach CA. They are off the beaten path, and I hope this tour allows them to be seen by more people! #DACA #Dreamers @Matterport craigsauer3d.com/3d-model/dr…
